Name: Rachel Green

Rachel is a social butterfly who has a passion for the things that she does. She loves Fashion, it is a lifestyle for her, she cares about trends and her appearance in the minds of others, which leads her to be constantly aware of her surroundings. This quite a good trait for a Marketeer, as it all about being on the “next big thing”. She is quite spontaneous at times, but deep inside she is she looking for the right opportunities in life. From being a “spoilt little rich girl”, Rachel has made her way in the world through dire determinisation. She might not be the best coffee maker, but she will try her hand at anything.

Name: Phoebe Buffay

Occupation: Massage Therapist/Musician 

Phoebe is one of those people who could talk to anyone about anything and still be interested. She gets her energy through talking and singing about the abstract ideas and theories she comes up with, which are traits that would suit someone in the professional services industry. Her imagination is incredible- just listen to any one of her songs (Smelly Cat!!!) She is very spontaneous in all aspects of her lifestyle with no two days to be the same. She’s interested in adventure and trying new things even if they may be unusual.

Name: Joey Tribbiani

Occupation: Actor

Where do we start with Joey?

Joey constantly lunges himself into new social situations because of his occupation as an actor. He is very comfortable with talking to others, even though what he says may not make any sense. This is probably due his tendency to prefer abstract and theoretical way of processing information. Just like Phoebe, Joey is the epitome of spontaneity. He doesn’t know what Joey is highly extroverted because he thrives on human interaction, always full of energy and is the life of any party.
